One Direction hold koalas and get Chlamydia scare

On tour in Australia a few days ago, the boys of One Direction got to cuddle with a koala in Brisbane. But while they held the furry creature backstage, Harry and Liam got urinated on.

Of course they didn’t mind too much. That is, until Stav from Brisbane radio station B105 informed Liam that koalas are known to carry Chlamydia.

“I’m genuinely scared about that. This is worrying. I would have never picked the thing up if I’d known that,” said Liam during the interview.

Thankfully enough, the chances of catching the disease is very small.

Otherwise, I don’t think many fans would still want to get into the boys’ pants if they did catch the disease.
